Are you seriously suggesting that it somehow takes all of apples resources to fix the adapter?

I'll believe Nehalem spinoffs when I see it.
Expect Core 2 Quad at best ushering us into the glorious era of 2007. Not that Apple will admit quads have been around that long.

I don't agree - Apple does release aiming for WWDC attendees
While it's true that Apple does not make these updates at WWDC, it is also true that Apple 'aims' these updates just in time for WWDC so that many of the attendees who simply must have the latest notebook rush to order one to take with them to WWDC.
It's very funny seeing the sweat dripping from them as WWDC edges closer and Apple hasn't yet delivered their new gen notebook. When it arrives within a week or two of WWDC they can finally relax and know they'll be the coolest of the cool at WWDC.

Apparently... they haven't been able to fix the adapter in 6 months!
Ok, but again, why does that require them to put everything else on hold?
Oh yeah I'd forgotten that the recent MBPs went back to the Agere chipsets, maybe they can also fix the reported issues with using third party firewire ExpressCard solutions.
Clarksfield delayed??
When was there an announcement that Intel has gone ahead with a delay to the launch of Clarksfield? I know there were stories saying Intel is considering it, but I can't find anything confirming it's going ahead.
Also Clarksfield has been set for a Q3'09 launch period for many years now. Only a delay would relate to the economic downturn.
It's even possible that Apple has timed Snow Leopard for this because of its increased utilisation of cores. It could be a let down for Apple if Clarksfield is delayed.

HIGHER PPI ON THE MACBOOK PRO 15" PLEASE!
That's the only reason I haven't picked one up yet. The Macbook Pro's 17" display blows the 13" and 15" away.

Yea, we won't see Nehalem until very late 2009, or early-mid 2010. Why? Well for one, Nehalem isn't to be released until late 2009, but Apple will choose to revise their notebooks in the fall for the school year, as always, which will be too early for Nehalem. If Intel can't make this deadline, then Apple will probably choose to wait 150-200 days before revising it again.
This is true, but that doesn't mean they can't upgrade the iMac's 'video card' too. I mean, if the Macbook had a better 'video card' than the iMac for a while, why wouldn't they do that again?
Yup, I agree.
They WENT BACK TO AGERE on the MBPs??? Is that true? That's a dealbreaker so I really need to cancel my MBP plans if it's true. I've tried using Agere for audio work a couple of times, and it was about as pleasant as keeping a cheese grater in your shorts.
F*** I just bought a new MacBook Pro for $2600 last week.
And its now useless because......?
Seriously, what are you mad about? At best it will be a slight spec bump. SLIGHT being the keyword.
Agreed.
One way around this is to offer dual-core and quad-core versions (like the current Mac Pro), but that would require two chipsets for a mid/Q3 2009 release (for Penryn and Nehalem) so that won't work. Even with the Mac Pro, the 8-core and 4-core systems have the same clock speeds except for the 2.27 GHz 8-core.
The Scandinavians again!
You mean unlimited as in "no restriction what so ever"? Man I envy you. In Germany all carriers have volume restriction in their small print, after that its GPRS all the way...usually 5-10 GB are allowed on your "Flatrate". Well below my usage of around 60GB a month...
Should consider immigrating, such a beautiful country...and now with these internet speeds.
Hilsen fra Tyskland! Now thats Norwegian, I know, but still.

Nyan, I've gotta side with NT1440 here. Your laptop's still a beast and you should be happy with it.
Really, when you buy into Apple, you buy into generally unpredictable product refreshes. Buying guides give you a rough idea; Apple adheres to generally consistent cycles, but there's always a curveball here and there, no matter the product. That's just how the company works.
Best to just let go and not get frustrated, especially over product bumps that haven't even materialized yet!

We have too many carriers and too few customers in Sweden, so yeah, I guess we're kind of spoiled. For 595 SEK/month (54, $70) I can get flatrate for everything, i.e. unlimited data, talk time, SMS, MMS, plus access to WiFi hotspots. And in my last apartment I paid 295 SEK/month (25, $35) for 100 Mbit internet access (fiberLAN). Next year they're upgrading to Gigabit...
First- sorry to have reminded everyone of the Larger FONT capability
Second, I just find it amazing that Apple offers a $6,000 Mac Pro and just two display choices for it--both on different connectivity standards... and you can't run two of the same kind from the same graphics card!!!!*
This is a serious product gap that needs to be addressed. It is unbelievable that this is not a high priority for Apple.

*without using a broken, $100 adapter for dual 30"s, but can't run dual 24"s w/out two graphics cards

If it relies heavily on Grand Central, Quicktime X, OpenCL etc. I'd bank on it being Snow Leopard only. Which will probably be offered at a heavily discounted price if bought with FCS3.
